This Means War
H.e.r.o. Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

1.
On the edge don't know what I'm fighting for
Unsatisfied, chasing, still I want more
Hold it against me
Just before I turn black
You gave a taste and lead me to your fire

B.
Please shake it off in your kindness
Im thinking bout where my mind is
Please shake it off in my blindness
In my blindness

Chorus:
This means war
You're beating me, breaking me, killing me
This means war
Darling just set me free
I've tasted your danger
How can I, how can I blame her
This means war - This means war

2.
You lift me up, though I know you're nameless
Pain won't stop, all I feel is shameless
Hold it against me
Just before I turn black
You gave a taste and lead me to your fire

B.
*see above*

Chorus





Mid-8
I want you closer
You push me till it's over
-
You're coming closer
Kick me, hit me harder
Fight till it's over
Push me, make me start it
This means war now, this means war now

THIS MEANS WAR!





Chorus
